The hand of the diligent maketh rich. Proverbs 10:4 Minister Gloria Copeland often says that “in consistency lies power.” There is power in being consistent in doing something. There is power in being consistent with building a business, a workout routine, or spending time with God. Pastor Creflo Dollar has stated that a trickle of water that consistently drips on a rock will eventually erode it over time due to the water’s consistency. Inevitably, those who are consistent will see positive results manifest in their lives. Trials and tribulations often come to hinder us from being consistent. It is hard to be faithful to your ministry for example when your body is aching with pain, it is difficult to focus on building a business when there is not an ample customer base, and it is difficult to spend daily time with God when you are faced with various challenges. Luke 4:16 records in reference to Jesus, “as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read.” Jesus exhibited miraculous power as a result of His consistency in prayer, studying the Scriptures, and church attendance. Proverbs 12:24 states that “the hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.” In essence, those who are consistent will rule and those who are inconsistent will be subject to them. If you are trying to build a business, cultivate a relationship, achieve financial success, or get to know God better then be consistent. Additionally, be consistent in prayer, God’s word, and church attendance in order to cultivate your spirit man. In consistency lies the power!

Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? She said, no man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: Go and sin no more. John 8:10-11

No man, woman, or child can stop bad behavior, tendencies, or thought patterns simply based on will power or positive thinking. The only thing that gives us the ability to overcome sin is what Jesus did for us on the cross in terms of dying for our sins and His love plus grace! In John 8:11, when Jesus told the woman caught in adultery to go and sin no more, He was not expecting her to overcome sin in her own strength but based on His grace. Jesus’ forgiveness of her sins and the love He exhibited towards her would enable her to overcome adultery and sin in her life. God’s grace is a byproduct of His love for us. Romans 2:4 states that it is “the goodness of God” that “leadeth thee to repentance.” God’s grace that is a result of His love enables us to overcome sin in any and every area of our lives. If you or someone you know are dealing with a perpetual bad habit, addiction, or shortcoming of any kind do not try to overcome it in your own strength but rely on God’s grace!
